How would I add emergancy lighting?

by John Hortenstine · in Artist Corner · 04/12/2003 (1:06 pm) · 2 replies

I want to make a building that on a triggered event will switch to another lighting scheme. I was wondering what would be the easiest way to do it?
(Think Tribes2 whenever generators are offline.)

If this has been discussed please forgive me I must have been searching for the wrong thing.

The search feature is pretty limited :-/

Torque has an emergency lighting feature at least partially present, left over from the Tribes2 days. You (or your coder) ought to be able to resurrect it.

Actually I also need to be able change a light on/off. *sigh* I have been looking at fxLight and will be adding that into the code tonight. Hopefully the dynamic lights wont have a huge performance hit. If so then I will be running through the code in search of another way (I have a few ideas I wish to try.).
